    Yo Rokit.. Ignorance is Bliss

    Watch the game and Learn. Don't just watch Lin. You need to learn about the game of basketball fully to understand what is going on...

    How is Lin being Benched when the guy plays 30 Minutes..

    How is coach not showing his "faith" or "confidence" in the guy when the guy plays 30 minutes..

    How is Lin not getting a chance to improve when he plays 30 minutes..

    Just cause Douglass finishes off the games doesn't mean coach doesn't trust Lin..

    Who is a better shooter? Douglass..

    Who is a better player? Lin or Harden? Harden..

    Who has the Max contract on the team? Harden..

    Who are the Rockets trying to build around? Harden..

    They are gonna do whats best to get the best out of Harden..

    Harden dominates the ball and is better doing it than Lin..

    Ya'll are still in the past rather than the present..

    Yea, Lin had some great games, there have been other players that had great games.. For example .. Nate Robinson.. He was beasting once upon a time.. SO should he start? be the number 1 option for that?

    When Lin was doing good, Nobody had a scouting report on him. Now they do.

    Good job for Lin beasting on Spurs for 38 pts.. Nate went for 48 pts before..

    What is ur point? Winning is the ultimate goal. Not until you as a claimed veteran basketball fan understands a basketball game is a team ball game. There is no one single better player can win against a team of 5 average NBA players all the game. Only team balling will win games. Stop the best or better player misconception. Even Lebron can not do it alone.

    It was always why Lin is struggling and not the Rockets... I know its a team game. The guy is making points for LIn and not the Rockets... Its LIn struggling because of the coaches. Its Lin struggling cause of the Injuries.. ITs Lin struggling cause he is not a number 1 option...

    My answer was not for Who is better but I'm telling them to know that Lin has to play under the circumstances he is in because that is what he was brought here for. Just cause a player has a 1 good game out of 22 games doesn't mean that he is really good because many players have had great games.

    Team Work is something the Rockets will have to work on because of them being so young.

    The above two posts represent the beginnings of an awesome bad English vs. bad English showdown. I can barely understand what either of them is trying to say. But damn, it is amusing to read. Do you think they can understand each other? Or are they just talking past each other?

    I see you're fairly new to the board.

    LOF need to be more careful. Clutch already said he would ban them on the spot if they continued to be obnoxious and disrespectful.

    Dude, both sides are obnoxious and disrespectful. They are all idiots. Sadly, these two groups make up 90% of clutchfans.

    I like Lin and think he has a lot of room for growth. I also think that he hasn't figured out how to play aggressively/confidently/efficiently when Harden's on the court, and would like to think that he can figure it out. So far, TD has been earning his minutes fair and square.

    All of that said, I kind of wish Lin would get traded, if only for the reason being that all of the LOFs and LOHs would disappear and we could get our BBS back.

    Can't say I disagree with you. Lin obviously isn't effective without the ball, I think its a pretty bad fit. Is TD a better player? No. Is he better in the role they are being asked to play now? Yes. He is definitely earning his minutes. 40%+ from 3 will do that for you
